The Toshiba Libretto is a full Windows 95 system that is always with me - not like other notebooks that I often left at home. Having a 1.5-Gbyte hard drive and a 120-MHz Pentium processor with a spectacular display in your palm is impressive.
The trick to loving it is to realize how often you're on a plane and want to edit a presentation or, if you're like me, create tomorrow morning's talk. Plucking the Libretto out of your small briefcase, wielding a full-power presentation system, and not having to worry about the seat in front of you crashing into your machine is the game. Reading, answering email, and editing documents are a snap.
The real game is walking around Silicon Alley with my Libretto coupled to that nice small Metricom Ricochet SX wireless modem and being on the Net with a real computer and real - well, Win95 - software.
